Tingle.Extensions.Caching.MongoDB

This package contains an implementation of IDistributedCache using MongoDB that can also be leveraged in ASP.NET Core as a Session State Provider. This implementation is highly inspired by CosmosCache.

MongoClient initialization

The implementation provides two distinct options:

Use an existing instance of a MongoClient

This option will make the provider reuse an existing MongoClient instance, which won't be disposed when the provider is disposed.

services.AddMongoCache((MongoCacheOptions cacheOptions) =>
{
    cacheOptions.CollectionName = Configuration["MongoCacheCollection"];
    cacheOptions.DatabaseName = Configuration["MongoCacheDatabase"];
    cacheOptions.MongoClient = existingMongoClient;
    cacheOptions.CreateIfNotExists = true;
});

Use a defined connection string

This option will make the provider maintain an internal instance of MongoClient that will get disposed when the provider is disposed. The MongoClient will be created using the provided ConnectionString.

services.AddMongoCache((MongoCacheOptions cacheOptions) =>
{
    cacheOptions.CollectionName = Configuration["MongoCacheCollection"];
    cacheOptions.DatabaseName = Configuration["MongoCacheDatabase"];
    cacheOptions.ConnectionString = Configuration["MongoConnectionString"];
    cacheOptions.CreateIfNotExists = true;
});

State storage

The provider stores the state in a collection within a database, both parameters are required within the MongoCacheOptions initialization. An optional parameter, CreateIfNotExists will make sure to create the collection if it does not exist with an optimized configuration for key-value storage.
